This coming from the guy who only registered this past May and already has almost 2000 posts.

Sounds like you've got a lot going on. Maybe you and that other degenerate should go to the track or something.

Watch out for any smoking dirt piles.

Gambling as a hobby does not make one degenerate. Poker is gambling, and poker is my hobby--am I therefore a degenerate? A degenerate gambler is one that will piss away all of his cash, liquidate all of his assets, and ruin every family member and friend that he can in order to feed his habit.

On the other hand, someone who loves going to casinos but carefully budgets such trips -- even if he spends "a lot" -- is not degenerate.

It would be different if he was blowing his savings and using his kid's money for college to support gambling, but that is not stated. It's unfair to state that he's a degenerate simply by reading that he likes to gamble.
